Similar experience with my husband. My husband received a check for 4,950.00 sent priority mail. He received and email from this man claiming to be Ron J. Bruner that said the check was for my husband’s response that he would participate in a promotion for dr.pepper. something about putting decal on our car for a certain amount of time. But anyways we called the bank to verify the check and they told us to disregard the check that it was indeed fraud.
